Jamal Murray was explosive in the first half, putting up 24 points in what looked to be another huge night for him. He alone basically offset Utah’s 48% shooting from three by himself as no one else outside of Jokic could get anything going offensively. Unfortunately, that didn’t translate to the second half. Murray was scoreless in the third and it took until three minutes remaining in the game before he got on the scoresheet again. He finished with 30 but was sorely missed in the third and fourth.
